REFLEXOLOGY

Reflexology is the holistic practice of massaging the feet. It is based on the belief that the internal organ system of the body is mapped on the foot, and by gently massaging the reflex points of the foot the body’s own healing systems can be activated. Clients undergoing treatment will be required to seek written permission from their consultant/doctor before treatment begins.
